Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (76-48) @ Los Angeles Dodgers (74-50)
The Milwaukee Brewers are set to face the Dodgers in the series finale in Los Angeles with Logan Henderson on the mound opposite Tarik Skubal. It’s been a disappointing West Coast trip overall, as Milwaukee was swept by the Padres in San Diego, but they’ve bounced back to win two of the first three games […]
The Resurgence of Joey Ortiz
When the Brewers needed him most, he vanished. Well, actually, he struggled. A lot. Some may argue he never showed up. In February 2024, the Milwaukee Brewers traded Cy Young winner and ace of their pitching rotation, Corbin Burnes, to the Baltimore Orioles in return for Joey Ortiz, DL Hall, and future considerations. At the […]
Contreras breaks out as Brewers beat Dodgers, 4-1
Box Score The Brewers are a struggling offensive team, and today doesn’t really change that. But Milwaukee got a couple of two-run homers today — one from a very encouraging source — and that’s often going to be all you need when Jacob Misiorowski is on the mound. Indeed, Misiorowski and a couple of Brewer […]
Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (75-48) @ Los Angeles Dodgers (74-49)
The Brewers and Dodgers are two teams with struggling offenses who have had to fight for every run they’ve earned through the first two games of this four-game series. The teams have split the first two, with a combined score of 7-6 in favor of the Dodgers. Things won’t get easier for the Dodgers’ offense, […]
Breaking T releases “Mizfits” shirt
We’re back with another Breaking T shirt featuring Jacob Misiorowski. This one features “Mizfits,” an ode to the title character from “The Crimson Ghost,” a 1946 12-part movie serial by Republic Pictures. The logo was then redesigned in 1979 for t-shirts and a concert flyer, and Breaking T is now using it for the Great […]
Brewers can’t rally in ninth again, lose to Dodgers, 3-1
Box Score For the second straight night, the Brewers fell behind and needed a late rally. They loaded the bases in the ninth, but couldn’t break through this time and lost to the Dodgers, 3-1. Early on, the Brewers made Yoshinobu Yamamoto work. Even though they only managed one baserunner — a Jake Bauers walk […]
Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (75-47) @ Los Angeles Dodgers (73-49)
The Brewers started their series against the Dodgers last night with a big comeback win. After being swept in San Diego, it was not looking good as they were down two in the ninth inning last night. However, a three-run inning capped a comeback for them as they took the series opener. The Brewers will […]

Bernie’s Dugout Open Thread: 8/14-8/20
Greetings, Brew Crew Ball community. The Brewers are going through a bit of a rough patch, as the Cubs have narrowed the gap in the NL Central. Even so, Milwaukee sits atop the division with a month and a half to go, and they’re still on pace for a franchise-record win total. Feel free to […]
Brewers come alive in ninth, steal 5-4 win over Dodgers
Box Score After a frustrating sweep in San Diego, the Brewers are back in the win column. Despite trailing late, Milwaukee rallied against struggling Dodgers closer Edwin Díaz in the ninth inning, scoring three runs to steal a 5-4 win and start their four-game series in Los Angeles on the right foot. Both Brewers starter […]
Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (74-47) @ Los Angeles Dodgers (73-48)
Milwaukee has had a rough start to its seven-game West Coast road trip, suffering a sweep at the hands of the Padres in a series that included two one-run losses. It won’t get any easier this weekend as the Brewers take on the back-to-back defending champion Los Angeles Dodgers for a four-game set. With a […]
Brewers should turn to this top prospect to fortify infield
The Milwaukee Brewers are dealing with a serious depth problem on the left side of their infield. Cooper Pratt is out for a few more weeks with a hamstring strain. Joey Ortiz has been dealing with a neck/back injury. Those are the two top shortstops on the Crew’s depth chart. The Brewers have a large […]
May’s flowers wilted by bullpen in Brewers 4-3 loss
Box Score West Coast nightmares continue to haunt the Brewers as the San Diego Padres finish the three-game series sweep in a 4-3 extra-inning affair. The Brewers are now 4-8 on the season when playing on the West Coast. From Dustin May’s stellar seven-inning performance to the four double plays turned by the defense, followed […]
Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (74-46) @ San Diego Padres (64-57)
Although it’s August, the divisional races are starting to heat up; with these last couple of wins for San Diego, they find themselves in the mix for a Wild Card.

Series Preview: Milwaukee Brewers @ Los Angeles Dodgers
The Milwaukee Brewers are staying out West through the weekend, as they’ll head to Los Angeles to visit the Dodgers for four games beginning Thursday night.

Breaking T releases “Les Misiorowski” shirt
We’re back with another Breaking T shirt featuring Jacob Misiorowski. There frankly isn’t much to be said that hasn’t already been said about the big right-hander, and that’s why our partners over at Breaking T keep rolling out new merch. This one features “Les Misiorowski,” an ode to the well-known musical Les Misérables. Misiorowski became […]
Harrison, Brewers hammered by Padres, 11-2
Box Score West Coast games have not agreed with the Brewers this season. For the sixth time this season, the Brewers gave up double-digit runs in a game, and three of those have happened on the West Coast. This time, it was an 11-2 loss to the Padres on Wednesday night in San Diego. The […]
Game Discussion: Milwaukee Brewers (74-45) @ San Diego Padres (63-57)
After a rough start to the series yesterday, the Brewers are looking to bounce back in game two against the Padres. They will try to do that behind Kyle Harrison tonight. The revolving door of the bullpen continued moving as they made another roster move before today’s game. Bryse Wilson is back on the roster […]
Breaking T releases “Air Luis Lara” shirt
We’re back with a new Breaking T shirt, featuring Milwaukee’s young outfielder. As you may have seen on Sunday, 21-year-old outfielder Luis Lara made two of the best catches we’ve seen all season, saving the day as the Brewers beat the Twins in extra innings. The cherry on top? The second of those earned MLB’s […]

Brice Turang and the 2026 MVP race
There is a pretty obvious favorite for National League MVP, a guy who unfortunately plies his trade for the team 90 miles down I-94. But just because Pete Crow-Armstrong is likely to win the MVP (and if he weren’t, the inevitable Shohei Ohtani is lurking behind), that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t celebrate the guy […]

Box Score The Brewers carried a one-run lead into the seventh inning behind six dominant frames from Logan Henderson, but the Padres finally broke through against him the third time through the order. Jackson Merrill’s two-run homer put San Diego ahead, and Milwaukee couldn’t answer against the Padres’ bullpen in a 3-2 loss. Neither team […]
